But just in case restaurateurs needed confirmation that yes, really and truly, British people would rather their food was served on a plate than in a jar, shoe, or bit of wood, YouGov’s gone and done a poll to settle this matter once and for all.

The least acceptable form of serving food was a shoe, with only 9% saying it’s acceptable to serve food in a (clean) shoe, while only 10% said the same for a dog bowl. I guess context is everything when it comes to bowl shaped objects, and people really aren’t fans of being treated like dogs.

Other hipster methods of serving food were roundly rejected, too.

Shovels were only considered acceptable by 17% of people and only 18% of people would be okay with eating from a jar.
